Original subtitles

ALMA: They call it "correction"--

when they take something they don't like and they change it.

Who?

CHARLIE: The intelligence community has hurt a lot of people

through correction, Shaun.

But not you.

So who did this, then?

P H ILIPPS: It's Hannah Roberts, barrister that represented...

Faisal Dahmani.

ALMA: It's happening, Faisal.

So who is it? A-- a volunteer?

HANNAH: A soldier who murdered on the battlefield.

It fits a narrative.

I was out, Charlie.

I was about to see my kid.

And because of you, my ex thinks I'm a murderer.

Eli. That security check?

Everybody came back clean.

Even you?

HANNAH: I still don't get why he's helping us.

I can't see the whistleblower in him.

Listen, you made-- you're making a mistake.

Let me talk to Frank.

FRANK: Eli says hello.

He sure gave you up in a heartbeat.

[gasps]

FRANK: We are done trying to make this story disappear.

It's time to make it true.

A woman's life.

-I told you because I trust you. -Don't touch me.

You've got to be careful, Rachel. What are you gonna do?

RACHEL: Please don't run.

I couldn't arrest you if I wanted to. They've taken me off the case.

I'm so tired of believing people.

RACHEL: You're innocent.

I can prove it.

F i nd out which school his daughter goes to.

[man panting]

[helicopter whirring]

-[gunshot pops] -[gasps]

[gasps]

[sighs]

Would you like me to call ahead, ma'am? Make sure they're awake?

No.

I'll wake them up.

When's that little bastard gonna get caught?

-ALMA: We're trying. -CHARLIE: It won't take much longer.

The whole country's looking for him.

And once he remembers how it feels inside a remand cell...

ALMA: He'll turn to us.

He has to. We're the only ones with the real footage.

CHARLIE: We're the only ones who can exonerate him.

T he plan's gonna work, Faisal.

That's what Hannah told me.

[line beeps]

[sighs]

WOMAN: It's not for me, Rachel, it's for you.

I saw how unhappy you were last night.

That's the job.

But you need to talk.

O p en up. I'm your sister. I'm never gonna judge you.

All right, Abi.

W h en this case is over, we'll talk. I promise.

[sighs]

SHAUN: Where's the big man?

DS Flynn's still on the investigation officially,

so he still has to turn up for work.

So what's the plan?

Well, first off, I'm gonna take this to the Office of Police Conduct

and get you ruled out as a suspect.

I'm gonna need you to stay here till I get back.

-What about your family? -Oh, it's just my half-sister.

She won't bother you.

You have a nice home.

Oh, I don't live here.

Yeah, but, I mean...

-still your home, innit? -Not really.

It's my stepmother's house.

We moved here when my mum passed.

What, your old man hedging his bets or something?

I don't know why I said that.

Sorry.

[chuckles]

It's, uh... kinda true, actually.

[Rachel chuckles]

It's just you and your granddad, is it?

And my daughter. And, um, and her mum.

They must be praying for this to be over, too.

One way or another.

T he shit I've put them through.

None of it your fault.

I don't know.

PATRICK: As I made my approach to the music venue,

I saw the suspect escape from an emergency exit.

-Unfortunately, backup... -[door opens]

...failed to locate the suspect.

GARLAND: They had difficulty locating you, as I understand it.

As many of you know,

Detective Inspector Carey is no longer running the investigation.

Whilst I retain operational oversight,

please report immediate concerns to DS Latif,

who has been on the case since the outset.

So where were you?

Congratulations. She likes you.

[scoffs]

Did you even think about running it past me before you fired her?

I ran it past DCI Boyd. You're not her boss anymore.

You've just made things a fuck of a lot worse for all of us.

Rachel Carey is not the sort to scurry away and hide.

What is she to you exactly?

She was your truffle hog.

On Sycamore, right?

She has a lot more to offer than that.

Oh, Danny.

I really think you ought to call me "sir" while you're here.

-I'm not sure I see it myself. -Or Guv.

She's rather green, don't you think?

It's early, I know.

But I can't think of a better way

t o turn this problem into an opportunity.

Early? For what?

Her recruitment.

[door opens, closes]

J ESSICA: You look tired, Frank.

I do hope you're getting the support you need from the embassy.

FRANK: Spare me the corporate care package, Jessica.

This is just me and you.

The soldier fiasco?

-"Fiasco"? -What would you call it?

Over. Nearly.

It's on CNN.

Whoever's orchestrating this is getting what they want.

What they want

is to have this program exposed in a court of law.

And that's not gonna happen.

Plans are in motion to bring this folly to an end.

I know they sent you to keep an eye on me, Jessica.

But really, just take in a show, you know?

Enjoy the city.

And by all means, take all the credit for it when you get back to DC.

Who's the mole, Frank?

With correction that good, someone inside the program must be involved.

You know it, I know it.

You want an intelligence briefing?

H a ve Langley schedule an authorised visit.

I don't need a rubber stamp from Langley.

I take my orders from the ODNI.

And you know what they said?

"Go change Frank's shitty diaper." That's verbatim.

The office is concerned by your conduct.

The deputy is awaiting my verdict,

and you willcomply with this review.

[footsteps approaching]

Eli Jacobi.

FRANK: Been with the program seven years, two of them here.

Treasonous piece of shit.

But he's complying now?

Well, he told us where we can find Hannah Roberts, that's it.

As for who she was working with, where they get their funding,

big, fat zero.

If there was ever a case for reintroducing waterboarding...

Have you considered there may be other actors here

in the unit?

[sighs]

I'd like to speak to all of your technical operators individually.

Starting with him.

But first things first.

We need to find this soldier.

I have a feeling

he's gonna come crawling out of the woodwork very soon.

[radio playing]

ABIGAIL: Hey.

Hi.

Sorry. Weird.

You're kind of... famous.

But Rachel said it's all BS,

what they're saying about you, so...

I've made avocado toast. Would you like some?

-Uh, no, I'm all right. Thanks. -Aren't you starving?

[sighs]

Bacon and eggs?

♪ But I can't get distracted... ♪

Yeah. Thank you.

♪ I'm just a little bad dream that woke up ♪

♪ Like a little blue boy I can't grow up ♪

♪ I just gonna keep pushing 'til you say stop ♪

♪ I can't help it if you're making me do this stuff... ♪

TV REPORTER: The CCTV coverage shows

exactly when six-year-old Jaycee was led away from the school,

and by whom-- the girl's father,

the wanted former soldier, Shaun Emery,

who is the prime suspect

in the abduction and murder of Hannah Roberts.

Police are appealing for any witnesses

that may have seen the girl being led away

to please contact the authorities with any information.

-[bacon sizzling] -[door closes]

[theme music playing]

[cell phone buzzing]

Abigail?

-What do you mean he's gone? -Just gone.

One minute, I was making him breakfast, and...

-Well, did he say anything? -No, but then I saw the news.

-Saw what? -You haven't seen it?

You better.

[indistinct chatter]

KAREN: How did he get in?

I thought this was meant to be a safe place?

Who buzzed him in? Who let him take her?

We're in the process of asking those questions.

For now, our priority is Jaycee's safe return.

Yeah. No shit! Really?

Can you think of anywhere Shaun might have taken her?

-I've told you ten times... -MAN: Excuse me, sir.

- I don't know. - I'm going in.

I can't believe it. It's like a nightmare.

Is something wrong with your phone? Seventeen missed calls.

You know I was working all night.

H e has taken her, and I needed you.

TEACHER: Why don't you both sit down? We'll bring you a cup of tea.

If one more person offers me tea,

I swear to God, I'm gonna drown them in it.

NADIA: Karen?

-DS Latif. -Yeah, I remember.

I'm now running the investigation into Shaun Emery.

Are you? Well, you're doing a fucking great job finding him!

You will check under the carpet, won't you?

'Cause you never know, he might be playing hide and seek.

PATRICK: Mr. Emery?

What did you let him go for if he's so bleeding dangerous?

Bear with me, Eddie. We're just doing our job.

I'm hopeful this will all be resolved very soon.

He's innocent, and you know it, don't you?

[cell phone ringing]

Rachel.

Patrick tells me you're in charge now.

Garland's in charge, obviously.

Look, I can't talk now.

Any eyewitnesses?

- [Nadia sighs] - Thought not.

D i d you check the CCTV surrounding the school?

I'm just doing as I'm told.

This is the first time I've been given a role in an op like this.

I never had your fast-track privileges.

I'm just doing what I can to get ahead.

Surely you can understand that.

They're setting him up. You know that.

Even if that's true, what the hell can any of us do about it?

[line beeps]

[indistinct chatter]

ID match on target. Whiskey 7717.

-He's not hiding anymore. -Shall we put the call out, ma'am?

Wait.

DSU Garland.

-Are you watching this? -I'll send an arrest team.

Don't bother.

I got a feeling he's headed right where we want him.

-Blind spot? -Sir.

Keep him there.

[keyboard clicking]

Run face rec again. I want certainty it's the target.

-Where is he now? -He's out of range.

But he can't have gotten far.

T h e next time he's flagged, run a full check, as I said.

[line ringing]

PATRICK: Ma'am?

Have you got that bus camera video to hand?

What you thinking, ma'am?

[keyboard clicking]

MAN: Okay, bring it up.

[computer beeping]

CLARISSE: Sir?

Camera one.

Expecting somebody, Frank?

Still feel like vouching for her?

FRANK: I seem to be misinformed.

I heard you were taken off the investigation.

RACHEL: I was.

Shortly after meeting you.

And yet, here you are again.

You've taken Shaun Emery's daughter.

What makes you think Shaun Emery didn't take the little girl?

Because at the time of the abduction, he was with me.

You've taken Emery's daughter

because you know he'll give himself up in exchange.

A n d he knows you're to blame because he's seen your work.

And what do you know about my work?

He wasn't there-- General Grant.

At the siege of Petersburg.

Somebody's taken his head and stuck it on the body of another general.

Of course he was there.

I t 's just nobody took the picture.

[cell phone buzzing]

FRANK: Yeah?

Send them in.

Have you got the time? Somebody took my phone at the door.

It's ten after 12:00.

Thank you.

FRANK: Well, well.

Look who decided to drop by.

What the hell are you doing?

Shaun Emery is innocent.

I want him dropped as a suspect.

I want his daughter found, and I want my suspension lifted,

which given it's invalid, it should be pretty simple.

Come again?

I can only be suspended by a police officer of two ranks higher.

I'm a DSU. You're a DI. I count two.

I have reason to believe that Gemma Garland

is an officer of the Security Service, an MI5 plant,

a n d as such, has no authority to take disciplinary action.

-For Christ's sake! -I know the risks I'm taking.

I s aw what happened to Hannah Roberts.

And Marcus Levy.

[Rachel sighs]

I know you didn't fake Emery's attack on Roberts, but you finished the job.

Except there's one thing you missed in the cleanup.

The CCTV was doctored, but not the footage from the bus.

This afternoon, at 1:00,

that video footage

of Hannah Roberts stepping on board that bus

and riding away at the time of the incident

will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions

and the Office of Police Conduct.

Unless Shaun Emery's daughter is returned

and I am reinstated as Senior Investigating Officer.

You've got, what...

45 minutes?

Fucking millennials.

GARLAND: She's got balls, I'll give you that.

JESSICA: Is she bluffing?

-Oh, this is... -Jessica.

- She's, um... - Here to help.

FRANK: Hmm.

-I don't think she's bluffing. -Then she's working with somebody.

I can imagine who that is.

I'd like to speak with her alone.

Well, I'd like a fucking house by the sea.

You mind telling us how she knows so much?

She's a good detective.

Smart. And principled.

Judging by recent events, we could all do with some of that.

Danny wants to bring her into the fold.

FRANK: Well, there's a challenge.

[door opens]

Sir, we have "Toy Soldier's" location.

What's the problem?

[lock beeps, door opens]

Frank.

I thought you had this.

Don't you have moles to interview?

[door closes]

MAN: The target doesn't appear to be heading this way after all, sir.

Where the fuck's he going?

Currently, Pimlico,

approaching Claypit Road.

FRANK: Claypit Road?

Midler and Hall.

[door bangs]

-WOMAN: Shaun... -Shut up.

Charlie.

-Where is she? -Shaun...

Where is my daughter? Where is she?

-I don't know! -Where is she? Where the fuck is she?

-WOMAN: I'll call the police! -Call the fucking police, then!

-Where is she? Where the fuck is she? -It's not us!

- Where is she? Where is she? - I swear to God, it's not us!

[grunting]

Fucking liar!

You've lied to me from the beginning!

[grunting]

GARLAND: Shaun.

I know where she is.

She's perfectly safe.

[coughs]

W e 're ready to do a straight swap.

You for Jaycee.

I want to see her.

[Charlie groaning]

Let him spend a little time with the girl.

It's the least we can do.

[Charlie coughing]

GARLAND: You need help.

I'll call an ambulance.

HART: How many times can you read the same headlines?

"The bomber was known to MI5."

"The attackers were on the radar."

Look at the suspects in Sycamore.

Four men plotting mass murder on the streets of London.

And how do we know about it?

Phone intercepts.

Wiretaps.

N one of it admissible in court.

CCTV, video evidence--

admissible,

popular with juries.

Highly effective.

Because we believe it.

Correction turns intelligence into evidence

and keeps extremists off the street.

"The ends justify the means."

The torturer's defence.

Your time must be running out.

[tapping]

[Patrick sighs]

[car approaching]

GUARD: Number 74.

Top floor.

[car door closes]

[knocks on door]

WOMAN: "Second rule of the jungle

is that honey should be eaten

whenever possible.

With one sticky paw,

the bear prized open the beehive.

There was honey all over

Baloo's nose," [chuckles]

"...and all over Mowgli, too."

Shaun.

You might want to...

"...the delicious, sweet, gooey honey."

[ w oman chuckles] Look at the bees.

[sniffles]

[helicopter whirring]

[groaning]

[panting]

Get fucking back!

[gunshot pops]

[whirring continues]

All right. I admit.

The program has hit some bumps...

The murder of a British barrister. The kidnapping of a child.

This hasn't been a typical week.

But the lives we've saved, Rachel?

Can't put a number on that.

-[scoffs] -Frank Napier is reckless.

He needs reigning in.

The process needs constant review and new blood.

If you had a seat at the table, Rachel, you could really make a difference.

-You expect me to join you? -Always knew you had it in you.

You've got ambition.

God knows you can't get through the fast-track scheme fast enough.

You've got the nous to question what you see.

You don't always take a conventional approach to moral issues, either.

What the hell does that mean?

Come on.

Jeez.

This is exactly why you hit a blind spot when it came to Hannah Roberts.

You saw yourself in her-- young rising star.

You couldn't see her flaws then, and you can't face yours now.

Flaws?

Speak for yourself, Danny.

I'm not the one that's married. I'm not the one that was disloyal.

Jesus, is that what you were doing? Scouting for recruits?

-Is that why Garland knows about us? -No, Rachel!

You think that because I chose to fuck a married man,

I ' d join in with your perversion of justice?

-That's not all it was. -Well, what the hell was it then?

What was it for you, Rachel? I'm not an idiot.

You'd never be with me if I wasn't where I am, and I know it.

"Don't do me any favours." The whole thing was a fucking favour.

For both of us!

I got to be with you, you got a few steps closer to being in the room.

Well, here you are.

Fuck you!

I liked you.

WOMAN: That's not right. [chuckles]

Look who it is, Jaycee.

Daddy's come to see you.

Where is Mummy?

WOMAN: We'll see Mummy later.

D o you want Daddy to read the story?

Maybe you can sit and listen.

"The bees chased Baloo and Mowgli

all around the garden."

Jayce? I got something for you.

-Pff-oo...! -[woman chuckles]

You know, I saw a bear once.

Not in a zoo or nothing.

It was in a country on the other side of the world.

Francis has a house in Portugal.

Well, this was a lot further than Portugal.

This was in the Afghan mountains.

And it came down all the way to our camp after dark.

And do you know why?

B e cause he could smell what we had for dinner.

[giggles]

-Do you want me to keep reading? -Yeah.

All right, where were we?

From here?

"With one sticky paw,

the bear prized open the beehive.

And there was honey all over Baloo's nose..."

[siren wailing]

[wheezing]

[beeping]

[groaning]

[moaning]

I've tried. I can't get through to her.

It's nearly 1:00.

Why don't you let me take it from here?

[door opens]

GARLAND: DI Carey. Sorry to have kept you.

A g ainst my will. What time is it?

Five after 2:00.

-Where's Danny Hart? -GARLAND: We'd like to show you something.

Not much point in hiding it from you.

Come, watch us land this beast

from the cockpit.

GARLAND: Like all forward-thinking ops, this is cross-agency.

Security Service, GCHQ.

Not to mention our friends here, of course.

[lock beeps, door opens]

GARLAND: As I'm sure you're aware,

the security service is monitoring 3,000 POIs at any one time.

-But the wider pool of suspects? -FRANK: Closer to 23,000.

Jihadists, white nationalists, Neo-Nazis.

You can see where this is going.

You can't keep up.

We couldn't. We're getting there.

We're compiling a database.

RACHEL: Is this their social media?

FRANK: Source material.

We're taking their online images and using them,

gradually creating 3D models for each suspect.

GARLAND: A database of digital avatars.

So you can fake their crimes?

All these people?

That is a very reductive way of putting it.

Ah! This is what I wanted you to see.

-What is this? -GARLAND: Can we get sound?

Live feed, please.

SHAUN: I found her at the bus stop.

She didn't want a lift.

I offered, but...

well, she said no.

Suspect turned himself in, said he had something to tell us.

[sighs] She had a boyfriend.

You've taken his voice.

That's where it all goes blank.

NADIA: So you don't know what happened after that?

You're faking his confession.

-GARLAND: I can assure you this is real. -FRANK: Believe us.

SHAUN: It's coming back to me in fragments, you know?

NADIA: So you've...

-got her in the car? -RACHEL: No.

SHAUN: I can't remember.

Let me out of here.

Let her go.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[metal clanking]

[panting]

[beeps]

[silent]

What did they do?

-NADIA: Interview suspended. -[recorder beeps]

What did they do to you?

HART: Rachel.

JAYCEE: There's 6,552.

SHAUN: Six thousand five hundred and fifty-two?

-And she's the Queen? -JAYCEE: Yes.

-A kingdom of doggies. -The kingdom of all doggies?

And how many doggies does she have?

Um... 8,000.

-Eight thousand doggies? -Mm-hmm.

JAYCEE: But she can be a king.

-She can be a king? -Like that.

Oh, yeah.

I think it's time for you to go and find Mummy.

Okay.

SHAUN: Ahem.

AMELIA: Yeah, come on.

Let's go find Mummy.

-Your daddy loves you very much, okay? -Okay.

We'll get her home safe.

[Frank sighs]

[door closes]

Right now, Shaun,

I believe we are standing at the precipice of something...

truly remarkable.

FRANK: The correction methods that you've experienced so far...

[scoffs]

...standard edition.

But if you could see...

what we are working on now.

Y ou wouldn't believe your eyes.

[rustles]

FRANK: Our most advanced techniques

involve some more time

and require

a great quantity of source material.

JAYCEE: Yeah, do you want to play out?

Y o u have to find my jewellery box.

The results, 100 percent,

photo-real manipulation.

Okay. Right, all I need's the bunny.

FRANK: No face-mapping, no actors.

Just sheer,

unbridled imagination.

Those, uh, recordings you're holding in your hand now?

They're pure.

Untouched, if you will.

But if my guys decided to get creative?

[Frank scoffs]

They could go in any direction they want.

I'm talking about... ahem...

. . .images that'll haunt you for the rest of your life.

And for the lives of your family.

Cooperate.

We'll make this real easy on you.

Hannah's killing was not premeditated.

You suffered an involuntary, violent episode.

Blackout.

The post-mortem will find

that there was no sexual impropriety.

Hannah wasn't raped.

You're not a degenerate, you're a soldier.

With PTSD...

from risking your life for your country.

FRANK: And in a very important way,

by helping us silence those who plot against us...

you'll still be serving your country.

FRANK: Your sentence will be lenient.

And for those of us in the know,

your sacrifice...

will not be forgotten.

COURT CLERK: To the charge of the manslaughter of Hannah Roberts,

how do you plead?

Guilty.

COURT CLERK: All rise.

[indistinct chatter]

Courtrooms and public toilets.

L a st two places in England with no cameras watching.

So, what's your next move?

The evidence incriminates him. The uploaded video suggests otherwise.

With your bus footage, you could have the casting vote.

If you hadn't corrupted the file.

Oh, I'm sure you made copies.

Can you actually imagine the impact...

if correction was fully exposed?

There wouldn't be one criminal caught on CCTV in the last 20 years

who didn't demand a retrial,

or claim they'd been set up.

And future crimes?

The public would never believe video evidence again.

Kind of makes you wonder what the hell you were all thinking

in the first place.

Oh, don't blame us.

C h ina started it. Russia followed.

How could the west compete without it?

Correction is a fact.

The public are content in their ignorance.

And a lot better off that way.

If you join us,

you'll learn how to use correction as a force for good.

In counterterrorism, counterespionage.

Danny Hart was right.

We need new recruits like you.

Help steer us along the right future path.

You know where we are, Rachel.

What if I don't?

If I go to Police Conduct with the footage,

do I end up in the boot of a car like Hannah Roberts?

I led that operation.

The one Roberts got so enraged about.

Faisal Dahmani.

Why do you think she couldn't prove his evidence wasn't real?

Sycamore plotters, same thing.

Why do they all find it so difficult to deny?

Because...

we only produce images we know happened.

We had solid intelligence

Faisal Dahmani was gathering enough peroxide

to blow up a major shopping centre, but we had--

No admissible evidence.

P hone tracking and surveillance

p u t him in the exact place and time the CCTV stated.

It may have been corrected, but the events in Dahmani's evidence

were as real as you and I standing here today.

That man supplied bomb materials to terrorists.

He denied it, of course.

Stood in the dock and lied through his teeth.

But I ask you, which is more accurate,

his testimony,

or our footage?

Correction is not fake evidence.

It's truth, re-enacted.

-[footsteps departing] -Oh.

As to your question,

I shouldn't worry.

Y o u're a lot smarter than Hannah Roberts.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs]

"Her Majesty" done yet?

Uh... not certain, sir.

Not certain?

Still?

Hmm.

I mean, how many days do you need to interview this prick?

[beeping]

[beeping]

What the hell is going on?

Where the hell's Eli?

Huh?

[door opens, closes]

What the hell is this?

I believe it's termed a soft rendition.

- Drag his ass back inside. - She's got documents, sir.

I'm throwing the executive branch a bone.

It's diplomatic.

The executive branch?

You better sit down, Frank. Before you fall.

JESSICA: I'm not obligated to tell you anything,

so consider this a favour, for old time's sake.

We need plots like Eli's

-to half succeed. -Why?

It risks the whole operation.

The operation relies on funding, Frank.

Who stands to gain when the public can no longer trust what they see?

Anyone caught on camera doing something they shouldn't.

There are individuals--

an individual,

far above your pay grade and mine--

for whom I daresay that applies.

So you would expose... the entire program?

-Just to protect that...? -Not expose.

We can't blow the lid off it. That way lies anarchy.

C o rrection should emerge as a conspiracy theory,

a rumour.

An "alternative fact."

Where there's doubt and confusion,

there's deniability.

I have a plane waiting.

[Frank sighs]

[sighs]

How many more moles? Hmm?

On my staff.

Your tenure will continue, Frank. For now.

But while you're watching everybody else,

don't ever assume there isn't somebody watching you.

[buzzing]

[indistinct chatter]

-I never took Jaycee. -I'm not pressing charges, am I?

A detective came to the flat.

-White woman, young-looking. -Carey.

She said you never done any of it.

Told me the other video's the real one, the one online.

-She's been and told your granddad, too. -[sighs]

But if all that's true,

what is this "guilty by diminished responsibility"?

Shaun?

[sighs]

It's catching up with me.

- What? - Ahem.

Justice.

You know, don't you?

What happened in Helmand.

You don't lie next to someone night after night

while they're fretting in their sleep

and not try to guess what's torturing them.

I told that story so many times, I believed it.

But deep down...

I know he wasn't reaching for his weapon.
